Hope lives in no kill shelters
No kill shelters work to save every animal they can. If they have a curable illness, the shelter will make sure they treat the animal and find them a forever home.

Every dog deserves a forever home.
Our mission is to stop the euthanizing of dogs in county shelters. If you qualify, we pay the full adoption fee — and keep covering food, shots and vet care for the life of your dog.
Are you on a fixed income? A veteran? Disabled? On public assistance?

Our mission
Safe homes, before euthanasia is ever an option.
Forever Care was formed with the belief that every person benefits from the unconditional love of a dog. Seniors live longer, children grow up happier, and families thrive with a dog in the home.
We partner with shelters and foster families to place dogs with individuals and families regardless of their income level — and we cover all costs for those who qualify.
- All adoption costs covered for eligible applicants
- Adopt through any participating shelter or foster home
- Ongoing essentials covered for fixed- and low-income households

What adopters and partners say
The adoption fee was covered and we received food and shot vouchers. Daisy fit right in — thank you for making this possible.
As a foster, I’ve never felt more supported. Vetting was handled quickly and supplies arrived the same week.
The program helped our shelter place seniors who were being overlooked. Fees covered = faster adoptions.
We adopted a bonded pair. Forever Care covered the fees and helped with a month of food to get us started.
Covering the fee removed the last barrier for our family. We can’t imagine life without Max now.
They advocated for a shy dog who needed time. We’re so grateful someone believed in her.
